Hacked, Gardening, Scratching

First, my email has been hacked. 

 If you receive a suspicious email from me, 

run your cursor over my name 

and see if it originates from another source. 

 If you've opened one of these hacked emails,

 run your antivirus program to be sure 

you haven't been infected as well. 

 I'm trying to get this straightened out 

and apologize for the inconvenience. 

Thanks to Michelle, Jean-Sophie, and Teresa
for letting me know. 

I actually wondered when this would happen because it has happened to so many of those 

with whom I correspond regularly.

The Garden in the Country

We've been making progress.

Fee has been working on the deck.
I haul boards and hold things
and hand things to Fee.
My Bog boots are great!

 I added all the stones using my trusty wagon.
You can see bed #3 to the left;
 there is another raised bed that is not visible.
And another stone bed around tree.

Poison Ivy Debacle--ongoing

It has been nearly two weeks since

I got the steroid shot for poison ivy.

It has been much improved,

but not gone, and I still wake up scratching.

I wondered why my face cleared up

when my arms and legs continued to 

look as if I had some dread disease.

At first, I thought maybe it was because

it is so easy to apply medication to the face.

Applying medication to arms, legs, back,

requires some undressing.

Yesterday, pondering the question again,

I wondered if the fact that for a month or so, 

I've been putting honey on my face

for about 15 minutes in the morning, 
then washing it off

( a Pinterest suggestion),

and when I tried it, my skin felt nice and soft.

So--experimented by applying honey
 to one arm and covering 
with a paper towel to keep from

getting everything sticky,

 I discovered that the remaining 

itch and redness on that arm improved.

????!!!!????

Today, I'm going to do it again
on both arms.

Can't hurt.
